Yeah I ordered my stuff earlier to prevent that, but then my areas custom officials go on strike around christmas of all times, so everyone's stuff got delayed

I'm tempted to just drive to the store tomorrow and pick it up someplace there. Walmart might have it.

Then the one that comes in the mail will just be a lovely surprise.

I got Super Smash Bros. from France and it got here pretty quick.

When I get a job I'll probably start shopping locally again though, mainly to support Local Businesses.

Also, don't go by what ebay or any online store 'estimates', if you want an actual answer, consult the shipping company and the items tracking number....note most small items from Asia dont come with tracking unless you pay extra, so a lot of that is shooting in the dark.

On top of that, always add a week on top. It doesn't make if you go express either, there is a shit load of mail to sort, and I tell you it doesnt all get sorted the day it gets there, on top, during this season it doesnt always leave your local office the day it gets there, because some just have way too much and may not get through it all in a day.

Finally. If you're notified to collect a parcel, always check everything about that message, in which ever form it comes in, for a time. A lot of people come in with cards we hand out, to notify them of parcels, which say eg; collect after 3pm......and it's 1pm.
The reason isn't because we havent done some vudu magic to it yet. But whoever tries to deliver parcels in your area (if they offer that service) obviously haven't gotten back yet.

Handy hints, enjoy.

The funny thing is, it won't even arrive in January. It won't ever arrive.

The tale told a thousand times over of shit shipped on christmas.

You might as well kill yourself if that's what you're buying

it'll prolly come sooner than that. not in time for christmas, unfortunately, but it could come before the year is over

it's always like that. the stuffed fnaf animal i got for my uhh girlfriend was coming from asia, and it said it would come like 5 weeks after buying it. took only about 3 weeks, tho.

so yeah, it will NOT come on the 27th

True Turquoise · December 21, 2015, 12:23:54 PM

I could have just sent you some..
